What I liked: Hassan and Mahaney putting a priority on getting the ball to the scorers, even if they are given the lane. Mahaney looking like he belonged. Passed the eye test like we haven't seen before. Big key during the comeback run on both ends. Samson and Reed staying out of foul trouble and defending Kalk about as well as can be done. Reed in the post. He can be trusted with getting the ball more than his has been getting it. Ball mixing in the midrange game, another guy who needs more shots. McNeeley taking charge on the floor and in the huddle The team taking it to the opponent with AK on the bench in (dubious) foul trouble. The defense in the 2nd half. What I didn't like: 75% in the first half. None gets that hot if you are playing defense. McNeeley not kicking it out 3 or 4 times to get a better shot. AK and Johnson's rebounding, he should be getting more if he's going to play 20 minutes a game. AK's fouls, thought half of them were soft calls. Also 0 for 3 from deep and 0 for 0 from the FT line Not getting to the foul line enough in general. The two blown out of bounds calls that let Crieghton off the mat. It was at least a 6 point swing. Hurley not adjusting to defend Green soon enough. Hurley not going inside to Reed soon enough or often enough to relieve their pressure outside. [/QUOTE]
